Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinations of Human Behaviour [Paperback]

I was given this book at a critical time in my life. Head over heels in self exploration exploring the idea did my circumstances create my reality or was it the other way around.

And mad at society for not having the answers.

And sad that I didn't understand.

And frustrated that nobody seemed to be able to accurately put the pieces together.

Then I was given this book.

I read. I read in awe. Because it coresponded with my own experiences. And rang true.

It drew me, and helped me.

And then to my great joy, I found out that he was still alive!

And that Eye of the I had been released! A sequel to the most satisfying book I had ever read.

And it was in another league all together.

If you read this, or any other of hawkins books. Or see tapes, or read any other writings of a true sage. How blessed you are.

And the best part is, you don't have to get it.

The getting it happens of its own.

: )

I am so gratefull for Dr. Hawkins and his wife Susan who urged him to publish and everyone around him and the infinitely complex circumstances that lead to this trilogy. It has transformed my life for the better and is just the most wonderfull thing.

God bless you,

keep reading,

Jonathon

Dr Hawkins, is definitely enthusiastic about the amazing subject matter in this book, but he doesnt make any verbal acrobats that i can see. He is an intelligent man and a doctor who are normally biased when it comes to using medical terminology that are not well understood by non doctor people/laymen, he is considerate and uses very little of this.
His lifes work is easy to follow and shocking to read.
Power vs Force is eloquent and very clear. He uses prominent figures, well known books etc as subject matter for his testing of his theories which i think are brilliant (i.e Ghandi - excellent example of the use of power winning over force - british ), he puts forward theories that are well documented, supported and ultimately, extremely believable.
His theories resonate and support and add to those theories put forward by such conscious writers as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dr Deepak Chopra etc. He uses scientific, kinesiological testing with patients, subjects and volunteers that puts forth the definite idea that we are all one and connected to a collective conciousness that permeates everything and everyone. Carl Jung understood this with his study of archetypes in dream analysis etc.
Whether we know something to be true or not our body, our cells, know the truth of whatever question is put to us by the tester.
You can do this test at home. Hold an organic banana close to your heart and have a friend try to press your arm down as you hold your arm straight out at a 90 degree angle from your body, are you able to resist with great strength? I can guarantee you will. Now hold pesticide treated fruit to your heart and try the same test, you will go weak. Packets of vitamin c and artificial sugar ( they look identical ) were handed out to an audience who were given the same test, all went weak with the artifical sugar. You can try the same test when posing the idea or thought of someone with a low resonating energy pattern, such as the wonderful Adolf Hitler, all will go weak. Try having your test subject think of Mother Theresa, all will go strong at the thought of this wonderful, compassionate human being. Getting excited, now you can understand Dr Hawkins excitement as well as those of his readers and colleagues. This form of testing should be used when treating patients with physical or mental illness. Even if your ego mind isnt aware of any illness or disease forming in your body, your body/mind/spirit is. You can use the same test in respects to music, art, color...the implications are endless. We are all made strong or weak by our thoughts and it is wise to avoid all thoughts that weaken you. YOu will easily see which thoughts weaken thought this test, if you werent already aware.
Helplessness, depression, grief, anger, bitterness, envy, resentment etc...feelings and thoughts create your life, your world, your health, your everything and Dr. Hawkins is just one of many individuals who are connecting to this powerful knowledge at this time in our evolution and bringing it forth for those receptive enough and intelligent enough to accept it and use it.
We are all blessed to have this book.

Did you ever have the feeling that most of our culture is pure BS. Well, there is now a way to prove it, and David Hawkins is showing us how.

It is interesting to read the negative reviews of this book and test for the level of the author. They only confirm exactly what David Hawkins communicates so well. Only 20% of the population can use kinesiology for testing, and if you are not at that level you just won't get it without serious desire and effort on your part.

This book is not for everyone. If you are at the level necessary to benefit from this knowledge, it will be tremendously validating and quite uplifting. If not, it will be quite devastating to the ego and it will fight tooth and nail to invalidate the message. As Hawkins says in his third book, the ego will filter from perception all things that do not fit its reality.

I taught my teenagers to use this technique. They took to it like ducks to water. It not only helps them with the BS of peer and cultural pressure, but cuts down on arguments by my saying well, lets just test it.
